❝I would go to college in the daytime and then come home to train at the gym. I would also work at a construciton site in the meantime. I worked like hell to get where I am today.❞

His motivation erodes as his disipline formed.

Arnold was there to win. He had a goal in his mind and no one was going to get in his way to complete it.

The quotes on this page will support you when you're down. You must remember that times are hard if you're not motivated, but that's fine, because disipline when strong enough will allow you to work without the motivation to move. It worked for Arnold, so it'll work for you.

I can be very friendly offstage, but onstage I will pull one trick after another on my competition to wipe him out, you know-because it’s my living and I have to win. Franco is my best friend, but I will do as much as I can to make him look bad and make me look good.

Well, you know, I'm the forever optimist.

Stop whining.

Good things don’t happen by coincidence. Every dream carries with it certain risks, especially the risk of failure. But I am not stopped by risks. Supposed a great person takes the risk and fails. Then the person must try again. You cannot fail forever. If you try ten times, you have a better chance of making it on the eleventh try than if you didn’t try at all.

Start wide, expand further, and never look back.

Retain the passion you originally had.

The one exception when it comes to investing money in filming, is when it comes to projects that involve giving back. Like the ‘Brooklyn Castle’ documentary supporting after school programs to help children be smart (learn to play chess) and stay off the streets.

Having a real purpose, drives his decision making and we should take this lesson on board for future open loop opportunities.
